[Extension Proposal] JPA Admin UI

[derari]

Description

I am building an extension that adds a Dev UI for showing and managing JPA entities.

The goal is to build it in such a way that it is also suitable for production use. I also want to make all UI elements available as qute tags, so that they can be added to any template.

I don't have a good name for the project yet. Working title is "qx admin".

The code is currently hosted here: https://github.com/derari/qx-admin

Technologies used:

• Hibernate (JPA)
• Qute
• Resteasy Reactive (maybe could be optional?)
• Htmx
• missing.css (to be made optional)

Interested in this extension, please +1 via the emoji/reaction feature of GitHub (top right).

Although I understand this may be useful for some use cases, OTOH it may expose unwanted data which may require further (complex?) configuration :)

Agreed. By default it would be dev-mode only.

[sberyozkin]

Should it become part of the existing Dev services support for DB/Hibernate ?

[derari]

Dont know if it "should", but I would not put it into a core package before it has really matured

[maxandersen]

This somewhat overlaps with renard/panache efforts afaics.

But I don't see any problem having different explorations in this area.

I wouldn't add it to core but just make it a possible extension you can add.

Ho, very interesting.

This is definitely related to the Renarde Backoffice extension, which generates UI for JPA entities. Although in the case of Renarde Backoffice, this is meant for both DEV and PROD use, not DEV UI, and we don't do Htmx but regular HTML forms (we could change this).

Here are some screenshots of it being used in a deployed app:

Would you be interested in collaborating on this instead?

It would also nice to have an option to perform queries.

So something like this:

Ah yes indeed.

quick update: I am still looking into basing my implementation on Renarde. There might be cool synergy effects
